United States Patent | 5,251,965 |
Johnson | October 12, 1993 |
A solid elastomeric tire is provided with an inwardly extending circular flange which is received in a V-shaped groove formed by and between inner faces of the two wheel disks of a disk wheel assembly. The disks are welded together around a circle radially inward from the tire flange, and are welded to a wheel hub cylinder having bushings therein. The tire flange in the groove resists the rolling of the tire off the rim in response to axially directed force on the tire.
